Heroic Deed.

Though Captain Kaluhikai, Master of
the schooner Ke Au Hou, belonging to
the Pacific Navigation Co., performed a
heroic deed last Saturday night, he did
not tell of it until yesterday afternoon,
when it leaked out in casual way. The
schooner was in the channel, on her
way from Hawaii to this port. 1t was
about 9 o'clock p. M, when one of the
crew, Geo. Kapu, formerly Kaimiloa
boy, fell overheard. The Captain, who
is an expert swimmer, Invested himself
of his clothes, and was over in an in
slant after the boy. The lad was caught
and held up. The schooner lost tn e
exact position of the persons in the
water, but after lacking about for three
hours and half, got little to the lee
ward of the Captain and boy, and heard
their calls. When taken aboard they
were pretty nearly exhausted, as might
be supposed. A gentleman who adj
mires such noble deeds is exerting him.

The Influence of a PiOus
Servant.

Few knew of the unhappy childhood
of the good Lord Shaftesbury and the
teaching of his faithful old nurse, of
whom he came to speak as the best
friend he ever had in the world. His
home was such as to discourage true
piety. His father was an able man,
but engrossed in public life; his mother,
daughter of the fourth Duke of MARI
borough, was fascinating woman and
attached, after certain manner, to her
children, but too much occupied with
fashion and pleasure to be very mindful
OF religious training. But there was in
the household supplemented, loving,
Christian woman named Maria Mills,
who had been maid to young Ashley's
mother when at Blenheim. She loved
this gentle, serious little boy, and was
wont to take him on her knee and
tell him stories from the Scriptures.
Throughout his life, it seems to us, can
be traced the effects of these teachings,
which, growing with his growth and
strengthening with his strength, ripened
into firm and intelligent childlike
faith. She taught him the first PRAYER
he ever uttered, and which, even in old
age, he repeated. When seven years
of age great trial befell him in being
sent to one of those schools for chill
dren of the weather. classes which.
at the beginning of the present century
were, in Mr.. Holders expressive words,
"hot-beds of every kind of evil and
mischief" Here young Ashley lived
in state of constant terror from the
cruelty of the elder boys and suffered
misery for years. Even in old age he
would say, "The memory of that place
makes me shudder; it is repulsive to
me even now" The terrible trials he
there endured caused him to sympathize
with the suffering in every form so
keenly throughout his life and to ex-
press his sympathy so practically. He
had not been long at school before the
death occurred of his old nurse. To
the poor, little, lonely, friendess lad the
loss was severe indeed; and now, with
out friend in the world to whom he
could turn for comfort, the sensitive
little heart, believing implicitly what
his one friend had taught him, turned
q to the Bible she had loved and spread
out his sorrows before his Heavenly
Father, whom she had taught him to
regard as full of pity and tenderness.
To the last Lord Shaftesbury wore his
old friends watch-a handsome one
which she had beqteathed to him, and
he was fond of showing it and would
say, "That was given to me by the best
friend / ever had in the world. '-The
